This is a FANTASTIC way to visit Bangkok! So much more interesting and authentic than staying in a hotel. The grounds are beautiful and full of herbs, fruits, and flowers. The house is very well-maintained and super clean. Everything works well! It was terribly hot last week, but the aircons kept the bedrooms nice and cool for sleeping. In normal weather, we could have opened all the windows, as they all have mosquito screens. The decor was lovely- everything was just so thoughtfully and tastefully done. The ladies arranged everything for us, from airport transport to some really fun activities. We had a great food tour of the neighborhood, which included local specialties westerners like us would never see on a Thai restaurant menu back home, and in cafes and outdoor kiosks that we never would have approached by ourselves. Everything was so delicious! We were there for Loi Krathong, so Sirichan's team/family hosted a krathong-making event at the house and even dressed us up in traditional Thai clothing. It was so fun to see my daughter wrapped up in colorful Thai silk! I loved making the krathong with the grandmother. She had no English and I have no Thai, but she was so patient and kind, demonstrating the folding of the banana leaves. We also had a cooking class at the house that was really, really fun! We all laughed so much and learned to cook dishes we can actually make at home (nothing so complicated). Our children enjoyed it, we enjoyed it, it was just the most wonderful 4 days. We were treated like visiting family members. I have no idea whether all these services are offered all the time or it was just a special holiday weekend, but wow- it was such a special time. We will cherish these memories for years to come!
